Struggling with a complicated integral

[Russ]

Hi,


I'm struggling with an approach to how I can integrate the following equation:

y = [1+(x/a)^n]^((1/n)-1)

a and n are both constants, whilst x and y are obviously the variables.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers,

Russ

This integration requires special function - check at:
